ARTIE'S MAGIC (2) is close to breaking through third-up in a much easier contest. Stalked the speed with the 59kg after running third over 1350m at Beaumont (Newcastle). Won't find a weaker race to shed her Maiden status. CHISTOTA (1) stalked the good tempo at his second race start with a fighting second over 1312m at Taree. Near his peak and capable of taking this out. NAMARA (5) ticks a few boxes today with the 4kg claim fourth-up. Warmed up late with an improved second over 1300m at Tuncurry. No surprise to see her win this. HEADSTREAM (7) resumes for the new yard and looks ready to go with the two trials. Placed at provincial level and must be kept safe.

Form hard to fault. At the latest run made some head-way from midfield; 2nd of 10 at Tuncurry Mdn on February 21 over 1300m, 2.5 len behind Whiskers carrying 57.5kg at $2.45. Before that made ground from midfield; 3rd of 10 at Tamworth Mdn-Sw on January 31 over 1200m, 1.0 len behind Manaftermidnight with 57kg at $3.80. Should be nice and fit fourth up with the claim, go close.
